Does anyone know what this flower/plant is? It’s apparently in California:

Bon? Do you know what the flower/flowering shrub is in Post 101?

Tin Eye found a picture which indicated that the Hummingbird is an Allen's Hummingbird. Very restricted range in coastal California. (D....Good call referring to Bon of Babble!)

Habitat: Breeds in canyons, coastal shrub, and chaparral; winters along forest edges and in scrub.

In early spring, a narrow strip of scrub and chaparral along the Pacific Coast starts buzzing with the sights and sounds of the coppery and green Allen's Hummingbird. Males flash their brilliant reddish orange throat and put on an elaborate show for the females, swinging in pendulous arcs before climbing high into the sky and diving back down with a sharp squeal made by their tails. These early migrants mostly spend the winter in Mexico, but some stay in southern California year-round.

Well, since we have not heard from Bon, Could it be an introduced planting of something like heather? (Not Mexican heather sold in Garden centers.)

This is obviously growing in a woodland enviornment and not in Chapparal! It seems a bit small but then so are hummingbirds.
